<description><![CDATA[&quot;However, I almost immediately run into a big problem: When I was compiling or deploying something, I automatically opened one or more of the following: Email client, Facebook, news reader, news sites. Thats a bad habit. Its hard to break. It ruins my goal of clean focus.&quot;
This is how I got to your article!!! Some nice things grow from bad habits]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&quot;&quot;&quot;PS: Know anyone who is checking email 50 times a day, and has 12 different notifications jumping in his face all the time? Send him this article. He will thank you later.&quot;&quot;&quot;
I knew. And I sent it to this person. It was my boss. He said thank you and fired me.

<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s a balancing act. Also, multitasking is a very personal thing. I might be your distraction junkie coder; and sometimes I really wish I could pull myself together more forcefully and just Get Shit Done 100% of some time interval...
alas, that&#039;s not how it goes. If I want, I can focus, but the result isn&#039;t much better. I might get trapped in a loop of not finding the (later) obvious solution and just walk in circles. That&#039;s no fun either.
On the other hand, I often notice that after a break - be it walking a round or opening facebook, reading the updates and then closing it - my brain has done the work for me. I think of it as distancing and returning. Work on it and push it as far as it goes; when it gets stuck, take some distance, return and see if it looks different now.
Obviously if it&#039;s badly stuck (for, say, days) I get frustrated and blame it on distractions and my inability to focus. But at the same time, I know I&#039;m not just turning a crank. I mean, 95% of the time I am, obviously, but the remaining 5% is the art and the craft, the part that justifies them having me doing it and not the 18-year-old fresh off high school.
My two cents.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For what is work Jiri, I don&#039;t know anything about you at all. But I do have a brain and can reason things, so I don&#039;t need to trust you to be able to learn from what you wrote :)
It really drove a point home, and I thank you for the lots of productivity I&#039;m about to start gaining.
Tabs BE-GONE!
Also, I&#039;ve wanted to gain some fitness for a long time now, so I&#039;m gonna start doing some push-ups during my micro-breaks, and perhaps do a run during a larger break, so my body thanks you too :)]]></description>
